Pendant Cookie

Awhile back I found a pendant while playing around on Pinterest. Immediately I saw the cookie it could become...unfortunately there it sat...on my Pinterest board...bugging me...begging me to become a cookie. (If you are wondering yes, things can beg to be cookies.) Anyway the problem with this bit of inspiration was the fact that it required a lot of colors and techniques that I have never tried. It took a little while but finally I made it...not for anyone special, just for me.

This cookie would have been a bit much to free hand so I started with my yellow food writer. I traced a measuring spoon to draw the circles and free handed the rest. It was about now that I was really sad not to have a projector of sorts.

I used an ivory to outline the design. This is where the learning really took off. If you make your piping icing too thick piping a detailed design becomes much, much harder. I found the starting and stopping of the icing not to blend very well. It left little peaks which about drove me made. I chose to move on and just be proud of myself.

Tada! I loved doing this. I loved watching this cookie come to life.




Not too bad - I learned a lot and actually I love it!!

Bright and Happy

I was inspired to make these flowers just as bright and cheerful as the world outside has been lately. I just wish I had examples of the other colors I made, but unfortunately they did not live long - darn cookie thieves :P

Spring Minis

These spring mini cookies are about 1.5 inches wide. They are the perfect little snack - just enough cookie to satisfy while not being enough to feel guilty. Unfortunately if you are like me - just one of these cookies are never enough. These look really great in a small gift box or a clear jar.

I love this spring mix of cookies. I wanted to show a bunch of different styles all at once. The best part is that these flowers could be made darker or brighter and be used any time of the year.

This snail is my favorite! He looks even better in person :)
